AI, Code, and Design: Why the Most Important Thing Hasn’t Changed

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0100

I. Introduction

AI-powered coding assistants are now capable of producing:

syntactically valid code,
working code,
and even a certain form of reasoning about code structure.

Faced with this, a legitimate question arises:

This question lies at the heart of a video titled “The Skill That Separates Good Developers from GREAT Ones” by Emily Bache, which offers a nuanced answer deeply rooted in the fundamentals of software engineering.

I. Introduction

AI-powered coding assistants have profoundly changed developers’ day-to-day work.
They generate working code in seconds, propose complete implementations, and drastically reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks.

To answer it, we must look not at what AI can do, but at what it does not take responsibility for.

I. What is the CSS Box Model?

In CSS, every HTML element is treated as a rectangular box. This is called the box model.

The box model defines how an element’s total size is calculated, and how it interacts with surrounding elements.

An HTML element consists of 4 main areas:

| | | padding (space) | | |
| | | +---------------+ | | |
